'Seinfeld' Fans Share Their Favorite Estelle Harris Mrs. Constanza Moments

On April 2, Estelle Harris sadly passed away.

The 93-year-old actress passed away on Saturday night of natural causes in Palm Desert, California, just two days shy of her 94th birthday on April 4. She was born on April 4, 1928.

Her son, Glen Harris told Deadline, “It is with the greatest remorse and sadness to announce that Estelle Harris has passed on this evening at 6:25 pm. Her kindness, passion, sensitivity, humor, empathy, and love were practically unrivaled, and she will be terribly missed by all those who knew her.”

Harris appeared as Mrs. Costanza on 27 episodes of “Seinfeld” from 1992 to 1998. Her character had been named Estelle even before she was given the part, which is why she may have seemed so naturally suited for the role. She first appeared in “The Contest” when she ends up in the hospital after she walks in on George losing the contest. As always, hilarity continues to ensue even there.

On fan put together the whole conversation between Mrs. Costanza and Susan in the 1995 episode “The Engagement,” when George reveals to his mother that he is finally ready to get married.

Andrew Mason tweeted, “For my money, there were no two retired parents more perfectly cast and portrayed in sitcom history than Jerry Stiller and Estelle Harris as Frank and Estelle Costanza. Pure comic brilliance.”

Estelle was first introduced in the episode “The Contest” where George still can’t help but get distracted by the woman behind the curtain, even when his mother is in the hospital!

Michael Phelan quoted the classic line in one of his tweets, calling her and Jerry Stiller, who played George's father, the greatest TV parents of all time!

“You’re supposed to serve cake after a meal.” Words to leave by! “We’re sitting there like idiots, drinking coffee, without a piece of cake!”

Many fans kept resharing the clip from “The Contest” and called it “one of the funniest television episodes ever.”

Darren Richman tweeted, “Farewell Estelle Harris. Scenes with these three together are as funny as TV has ever been.” He also shared a clip of the jello scene. Between that line and George’s outburst about the scissors, it’s a scene that fans can’t forget! “GEORGE LIKES THE BANANAS!”

Other fans couldn't hold back their praise for the constant bickering between Jerry Stiller and Estelle Harris. The comedian passed away on May 11, 2020.

And, of course, who could forget that creepy doll?
